Politically Mayor Walker has a beautiful stage setup. The Brown Derby has gone over the hill in defeat and, with it, the influence of a "New" Tammany in New York Democratic politics.

Captain Clark will be at No. 4, with Harrison taking his old berth. Penn and Navy, like Harvard, have been the underdogs in their races so far this season.
